The Jurist, the "voice of legal education" looked at tuition,
debt, and cost of living compared to the percent of employed
graduates and bar exam pass rates.

This list only includes private law schools. The Jurist will
publish the full best value list in October, and BYU stands as
the only private school on the full list. In 2007, 13 private
schools made the cut.

“With rising tuition, it has become increasingly difficult for
private law schools to make the Best Value list," Jurist's
Editor-in-Chief Jack Crittenden said in a statement.

The top five private law schools on the list of just private
schools have an average indebtedness below $105,000.
